I Was a Robot

Expanding the possibilities of music, and influencing rock, hip hop, house, disco, Kraftwerk remain one of the most important bands of the last 50 years. I Was a Robot is the full insider?s story of this legendary act, as told by the band?s original drummer.

Enigmatic, stylish and with an eye ceaselessly on the future, Kraftwerk pioneered a new way to play, present and perform music. From their early days in Dusseldorf to the band?s implosion in the 80s and beyond, Wolfgang Flur?s book is the definitive document of the Man Machine, a synth-driven quartet who transformed the face of modern music.

"Kraftwerk is a myth. Wolfgang is for real. Thus handsome elder statesman of Electronic Music gives a lot of useful inside information about the Men-Machines." Rudi Esch
